Research conducted in diverse contexts revealed a general tendency among language learners and teachers toward mainstream English varieties. There is even a scientific foundation for this personal preference, suggesting that these varieties (particularly American English) are understood better. Besides, computer- and mobile-assisted technologies have fostered language education in general and the learning and teaching of these varieties. Accordingly, this study evaluated the CALL and MALL products (i.e., three websites, one mobile application, and one corpus) about American English using the adapted frameworks of Baya’a et al. (2009) and Reinders and Pegrum (2017). With a particular focus on the technical and pedagogical features and concerns, the analyses indicated potential advantages to language learners and teachers in grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, listening, reading, intercultural awareness/competence, and pragmatic awareness at varying degrees. The evaluated products’ shortcomings (e.g., insufficient assessment and feedback) were also cited. The study revealed its limitations and made recommendations for further research. It further bridged the gap in the related literature and contributed to our understanding by providing insights.

In our age, the ways of obtaining information have changed compared to the past years and the process of digitalization of education has gained speed with internet providers. It is known that students benefit from various digital learning contents for Turkish lessons. The aim of this research is to determine the use of Youtbe and EBA, which are Web 2.0 tools, by students in Turkish lessons. The study group of the research consists of 20 secondary school students, 12 girls and 8 boys, studying in the eighth grade. Case study, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. Descriptive analysis was used in the analysis of the data. According to the results obtained from the research; When students want to learn a subject, they primarily prefer face-to-face education, and they see online education environments as a helpful resource. Students use YouTube on a weekly and monthly basis for educational purposes. In addition, students watch lecture videos on YouTube in order to learn a new subject, to repeat the subject or to prepare for writing. It is seen that students mostly prefer Tonguç Academy channel and they mainly watch grammar topics on YouTube. In the study, it was determined that none of the students benefited from the EBA platform. Students mostly explain the reasons for not preferring EBA because the lectures are boring and plain.

In today's rapidly developing technology, new methods and techniques have started to be used in English teaching. The use of e-learning applications in English teaching has become inevitable, especially since information technologies are now a part of our lives. The purpose of this research is to determine the effectiveness of using e-learning applications in teaching English as a foreign language. For this purpose, the mixed-meta method, in which quantitative and qualitative methods are used together, was employed. In this context, in a quantitative context, national and international studies on the effect of e-learning applications on academic achievement in foreign language teaching through meta-analysis were selected and analyzed in the context of inclusion criteria and the effect size value was reached (g=.17). On the other hand, in the qualitative context, through meta-thematic analysis, studies containing qualitative participatory views conducted on the relevant subject and nationally and internationally were reached, and these studies were analyzed according to content analysis, and themes and codes were obtained. The obtained codes showed that there are positive and negative aspects of e-learning applications in foreign language teaching. It has been revealed that when certain precautions are taken for the limitations of e-learning applications, they can positively affect language teaching and the learning process in general. By providing students with equal opportunities, the use of e-learning applications in English teaching can be expanded. It is recommended to create more secure systems especially for evaluation purposes in e-learning applications to be developed in the future. At the same time, it is recommended that teachers be given in-service training on informatics in order to use e-learning applications correctly. It can be said that the current research is a strong source for new studies to be carried out on the subject, thanks to the meta-analysis and meta-thematic analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this research is to examine in depth the experiences of science teachers in online learning (synchronous) environments. For this purpose, the research was carried out according to the phenomenological design, which is one of the qualitative research designs. The participants of the research consist of 10 science teachers working in the Mediterranean Region in the 2020-2021 academic year. Purposive sampling method was used in the research. In the research, data were obtained with a semistructured interview form. Content analysis, one of the qualitative data analysis, was used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the research, science teachers; They stated that the online learning process is different, their digital and technology literacy levels are insufficient, and there is an inequality of opportunity. While teachers who teach students who are willingly involved in online learning environments develop positive attitudes; It has been seen that the participation in the lesson is low and the teachers who give lessons to the students whose parents are indifferent have developed a negative attitude. Teachers stated that they prepared various activities to improve their thinking skills and used various assessment and evaluation tools suitable for the conditions. A science teacher who uses Web 2.0 tools stated that using the tools in the lesson increases the efficiency. Teachers stated that they encounter problems such as not being equipped and open to innovations for online learning environments, indifference of parents, and inability to establish eye contact and communication with students. Teachers have developed suggestions for increasing the variety of virtual materials in online learning environments, designing materials that appeal to different senses, eliminating missing materials for students, and strengthening the internet infrastructure.

In this process, theoretical courses started to be carried out with distance education, and a new training process has started for lecturers and students. One type of virus has become an epidemic in our lives when it is activated in our lives and promotes its contagiousness. Therefore; students who continue their education in universities, are distributed to different regions of Turkey for distance education. The purpose of this study is to create solutions for defined problems of undergraduate students, who were trying to take distance education beside their families from different regions of Turkey, about distance education. And also to examine students' views on distance education. The research was carried out on 390 students studying at the Faculty of Letters of 19 State Universities and data were collected through the questionnaire on the online platform. Data obtained within the scope of the study were presented under four heading; as demographic findings to recognize students, findings regarding the participation of students to distance education system, findings on students' usage of technology in distance education system and finally qualitatively evaluated findings, which, were the opinions of the students about the future education system, were presented. In this study; quantitative data obtained; It is given by frequency distribution. Descriptive analyzes were used to present the data. In the scope of the questionnaire, content analysis method was used to evaluate the opinions of students on certain topics, while interpreting qualitative data. As a result of the study, it was determined that 61% of the students could not actively participate to the courses which were given by distance education and besides, 60,25% of them had computers or tablets but 40,3% of them had internet connection problems. In general, it was determined that they communicate with the academics whom they took lessons by using different communication tools, preferably using the university's system. Also; students anticipate that the education system will turn into distance education in the future and explained the advantages and disadvantages of this situation from their perspectives. When the related explanations are categorized, the positive aspects of distance education are gathered in 3 themes: convenient and useful system, effective learning activities, and taking responsibility of the student. The explanations about disadvantages of distance education are categorized and technological difficulties, cultural and regional differences, injustices in course evaluation and scoring, unplanned processing of lessons, the problem of not being disciplined and unable to focus, and security problem. As a result, it was determined that students' participation in education from different regions and having different socio-cultural structure affect productivity in distance education.
